It's not just labor organizing, although that's super important. Minorities, small communities, friend circles are all forming with the understanding we're stronger in numbers. I run a gay men's group that meets at least weekly, we've had about 200 guys join, gotten media coverage, gotten the attention of civil rights leaders and lawmakers already. I'm just a guy with some crude leadership skills, little time, and no money. But there are lots of people like me out there, pulling people together. Faith communities are leaning in so we can organize their people.

You don't have to sit on the sidelines doomscrolling your life away. You can act, even if that's finding a community and joining it.

Trump was a grass roots movement, of idiots sure, but they pulled it off while people were still mad about Obama. I'd love to see it pulled off In the other direction, and we're all trying. However, I'm not convinced Americans are going to turn blue once we cut back on all the niceties we take for granted.

I know too many blue voters that would turn tail the moment Starbucks and Bread Co become too expensive to have almost every day. The overall amount of infantilism that's been baked in only seems to benefit the party that promises to maintain it at any cost.
